After leaving my previous job 6 months ago, i’ve had some good luck to learn about this website which was a life-saver for me… They offer job for which people can work online from their house. My latest paycheck after working for them for 4 months was for $18555… Amazing thing about is that the only thing required is simple typing skills and access to internet…

I had it with my older, she was 8 lbs 1 oz 21 3/4 ins long. I didn’t take anything, just had to watch my diet.
My baby estimated weight at my ultrasound 36 weeks was 8 pounds. I’m getting induced today because they don’t want him to get to big. I’m 37 weeks and 3 days today. I also have gestational diabetes and high blood pressure
I had diet controlled GD and my little guy was born at 6lb 15oz. He measured with a big belly inside of me until I got it under control and he came out healthy and average.
I was diet controlled and she was 7 lbs 7 oza
Almost 39 weeks, he was born 7lbs 1oz.

My daughter was 7 pounds 6 oz
First was 8.9 second was 7.6 both born 37 weeks

They predicted baby would be about 9lbs and induced because I couldn’t get my numbers I. Control at the end.

I had it with my last 2 pregnancies. My middle was 10.6 and my youngest was 7.15
I have it currently 33 weeks and baby is measuring 5lbs 10 ozs so they predict about 10 lbs by birth which they are saying they will take me at 39 weeks

I had gestational diabetes but didn’t have to take any medication. My daughter weighted 7lbs 10oz after a week in the hospital she left at about 6 lbs. I had her 11 days before due date so at 38 weeks.
My daughter was gestationally diabetic my grandson was 6 lbs 5 oz.
She was 6lb 12oz and born at 38 weeks
7 lbs born at 38 weeks my other girls where 8/9 lbs no gestational diabetes
I was told by Ob that the babies weight being bigger is what causes GD. Most GD babies are at least over 9 lbs.

She was about the same as her older sister. 8 lbs .6 oz
No he was tiny actually 6’15

Nope. 7lbs 12 oz. Not even my biggest
I had GD, my baby was 4 days and weighed 7lb9. No meds, just checked blood sugar 3x a day, controlled what I ate and all was good.
7lbs. Right up to the due date for 2 of my kids and my last one was 5 days late. My GD was diet controlled though. It really depends on the person and how well they take care of themselves too.
Supposedly i did. My son came out 4 pounds 12 oz. I shouldnt have followed the diet 
Be aware of that but it’s not always true! My daughter was only 4lbs I was so afraid she was going to be way bigger but she wasn’t
They had me on a diet at first but it showed I was way smaller than what I should’ve been my husband was a little annoyed because I wasn’t allowed to eat what I was craving or eating as much as I liked I stopped the diet within 2 months & she was still tiny I can’t image if I had stayed on the diet the whole 7/8 months how much smaller she would’ve been
I had it with all 3 pregnancies. 1st baby was 40 wks, 1 day and 6lbs, 6oz. (5lbs, 8oz when we left the hospital.) 2nd baby was my biggest at 39 weeks, 8lbs, 14 oz. 3rd baby was 37 weeks, 7lbs, 6.5 oz. 1st was controlled with diet, 2nd I had to take meds, and 3rd at first was oral meds then had to switch to insulin. I lost weight with all my pregnancies too 
(they thought my 1st was going to be 7-8lbs but he was my smallest.)
My baby was 8 lb 9 oz my ending weight was 163.5 39 weeks. my first was 163 37 weeks And weight was 6lbs 5 oz
No GD here and my youngest was 9’3”. I’ve learned that nobody can really detect baby size these days. Lol
My daughter was born at 37 weeks and she weighed 4 pounds 15 oz. Completely healthy. Just tiny. I’ve had 4 children and failed my glucose test with 2 of them. None of them were big though

I’m expecting and I started taking insulin but it’s causing asthmatic episodes and closing my throat also RSV infections.
I’ve had severe RSV in other pregnancies too Becuz of insulin.
Although If u want to avoid taking insulin
U can take herbs. Safe for pregnancy that help lower blood sugar naturally.
Potassium
Cinnamon
Turmeric
Aloe
It takes 2 weeks to start working
It really does lower it!!!
